Okay, now there is a tutorial covering DBI and specifically Patricks problem
with installation.

http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/node/3098

There is also documentation on the DBI methods. The tutorial needs some
clean up and we are working on some examples and further exploration into
DBI.

You may see me start some threads on where to find some of the database
drivers like those for  Firebird and SQLRelay.
